Description
This creamy garlic chicken recipe features tender cutlets cooked in a rich and flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- to taste Salt & pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tiny pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
Instructions
- Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise so you have 4 thinner cutlets. Sprinkle them all over with the garlic powder and salt & pepper.
- Heat the olive oil and one tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Take the pan off the heat and add the rest of the butter, the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir/whisk the sauce until smooth (make sure the liquid doesn’t reduce completely).
- Stir in the cream and return the pan to the burner over medium-high heat. Once the sauce is bubbling again, add the chicken back in. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is reduced to your liking. Season with extra salt & pepper as needed.
Notes
- Add more or less cayenne pepper according to your spice preference.
